The NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship was created in 1964 to promote and encourage graduate education by rewarding the Association's most accomplished student-athletes through their participation in NCAA championship and/or emerging sports. The NCAA awards up to 174 postgraduate scholarships annually. The scholarships are awarded to student-athletes who excel academically and athletically and who are at least in their final year of intercollegiate athletics competition.
Through the 2017-18 academic year, the Ivy League has totaled
215 athletes who have earned NCAA postgraduate scholarship,
41 of whom were former
Yale student-athletes:
